EECEPTACLE-HOLDER.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, ROBERT DIAMOND andBonner DAVID ifiiyo, citizens of the United States, residing atCleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Receptacle-Holders, of which thefollowing is a specification. This invention relates to improvements inreceptacle holders and relates particularly to details of improvementover our copending application, Serial No. 708,870, filed July 11, 1912.

More specificallythe invention relates to a receptacle holding mechanismcomprising a frame, a movable receptacle receiver mounted in the frameand adapted to be held in locked position with receptacles in place bymeans of a locking device and arranged to be held in locked position bya door or window, the frame being located so that the latch or lock willhave to move into the path of the door in orderto be disengaged from thelocking mechanism. The device may also be applied to a door with a latchor lock moving into close proximity to the jamb or facing when in lockedposition.

Invention also resides in an improved form of ratchet mechanism arrangedbetween the frame and the receptacle holding device.

The invention may be further briefly summarized as consisting in theconstruction and combination of parts hereinafter set forth in thefollowing description, drawings and claims. I

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of the device asit is applied; Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing the edge of the door;Fig. 3 is a plan view of a portion of the device and of a portion of thedoor facing and door; Fig. l is a similar view with the door open andwith the latch or lock withdrawn; Fig. 5 is a side elevation of thelocking plate; Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the ratchet member; Fig. 7is a sectional view of the several parts with the holding rivet removed;and Fig. 8 is a plan view of the spring.

Tn carryin out the invention any preferred form and construction ofparts may be employed so long as they possess the necessarycharacteristics, but we have shown one embodiment in the drawings Whichis highly efiective in operation, and in such Specification of LettersPatent.

arrangement, 1 represents a suitable door facing to which is swung adoor Secured to the facing or mph 1 frame member 8 having end brackets eand 5' projecting The frame member 3 is provided with recess portion 6forming a recess for receiving a bracket 7 and both parts are providedwith a suitable opening for the reception of a screw 8 by which theframe member well as the bracketare secured to the door facing or jamb.The bracket 7 has an arm 9 extending outward therefrom, and this arm isprovided with an opening in alinement' with an opening 10 in the endbracket 5, and these openings receive the latch shank 11 which isprovided with a head 12 at one end on the inside of the bracket with areturn bend latching portion 13 adapted to project through either of twoholes 1e.- and 15 formed in the end bracket A. spring 16 is arrangedbetween the head 12 and the end bracket 5, and this spring tends to drawthe latching portion in toward the end bracket 5 or through one ofopenings 1a or 15 with which it may be in alinement.

Rotatably mounted. with the end brackets a and 5 is a receptacle holder1'1 in the form of a channel which is adapted to receive the neck ofmilk bottles and the. like. member is provided with an car 18 adapted tobe secured to the end bracket 1 by means of a rivet 19. The opposite endof the channel member 17 is provided with slots 20for receiving suitableears 21 formed on a supporting member 22 having a flange 23 and anopening 2 1 for receiving a suitable rivet. This structure is shown inFig. 7, but the member 22 may be formed integral with the channel member17 as set forth in side elevation in Fig. 2. The flange 23 forms anopening within the supporting member and the ratchet mechanism isarranged within this opening. This ratchet mechanism c011- sists of acup-shaped spring 25 formed of flat material and having an opening 26 atthe center andsuitable radial portions, the spring is dished andvoperates in a well known manner. Engaging this spring is a ratchetmember 27 of. substantially the configuration of th inside of thesupporting member 22 and adapted to fit within the same, and it has aflange 28 extending from the edge thereof and engaging within the flange23 and also is provided with a central the latch against rotation.

former position,

opening 29 and suitable ratchet teeth 30 arranged in a circle around theopening 29. These ratchet teeth cooperate with ratchet teeth 51 struckout from a locking disk 32 having an opening 33 therein and lockingopenings 34L for a purpose to be described.

The supporting member 22 and spring 25, the ratchet member 27 and thelockingdisk 32 are all mounted upon a rivet 35 extending through anopening in the end bracket 5. These parts are supported so that theopenings in the locking disk 32 are adapted to register one at a timewith the opening 14 formed in the end bracket 5 whereby when the lockingportion 13 and the lock or latch extends through theopening it it mayextend through one of the openings in the locking disk and thereby lockit against rotation. I

In operation, the receptacle holding member is turned so that it is in aposition at an angle of ninety degrees as shown in Figs. l and 2. -Whenin this position the channel member extends out to a point so that thebottom thereof is in alinement with the edge of the bracket l wherebyfree access may be had to the channel and the neck of the bottle may beinserted therein. The bottle is then slipped in past the end bracket iinto the channel when the bottle is released. The weight of the milk andthe bottle causes the holder to rotate when the ratchet mechanism willpermit the rotation by its snapping over the ratchet teeth of he lockingdisk, this disk being held by The arrange ment of the ratchet teeth issuch that the receptacle holder cannot be returned to its and the onlyWay to remove the bottle is to withdraw the latch and permit therotation of the locking disk. This latch may not be withdrawn, however,when the door 2 is closed by reason of the engagement withthe doorbefore the looking portion is withdrawn from the locking disk in the endbracket 5. In order to prevent the wrenching of the neck of the bottlefrom the holder 17, a suitable bail 36 is provided with end portions 37'secured to cars 38 formed up from the end of the holder. This bailengages the sides of the bottles and prevents their being wrenched outof the holder.

Having described our invention, we claim 1. Receptacle holding andlocking mechanism comprising a door frame, a door movable with respectto the frame, a receptacle holder frame mounted on one of said members,a receptacle holder movable inthe receptacle holder frame, and lockingmechanism between the receptacle holder frame and the receptacle holderand arranged to be held in a locked position by the door when closed andto be free to be unlocked when the door is opened. v

2. In a bottle holder, a frame, a holding channel movably mounted insaid frame, a locking member slidably mounted in the frame and adaptedto extend beyond the same and to engage said channel and lock it againstmovement, and means normally tending to force said lock into lockedposition. v I v 3. In a bottle holder, a frame, a bottle holder movablymounted in the frame, a supporting bracket extending from the frame andhaving an secured behind the frame, a U-shaped latch having one leg ofthe loop extending through the bracket and through the frame to form asupporting guide, with the other leg of the U-shaped member engaging ina suitable opening .in the frame and in the re ceptacle holder, and aspring normallyholding the latch in locked position.

i. In a receptacle holder, a frame, a reopening therein and adapted tobe ceptacle holder pivoted in the frame, and r suitable lockingmechanism between the receptacle holder and the frame and comprising alocking plate, and suitable ratchet mechanism comprising the faceof thelocking plate, and teeth carried by corresponding plate held fromrotation by the receptacle holder, and a suitable spring for holding theratchet plate against the locking plate.

teeth struck up from 5. Tn a receptacle holder, a frame, a receptacleholder pivoted in the frame, and suitable locking mechanism between thereceptacle holder and the frame and compris.

ing a locking plate, a ratchet plate movable in the receptacle holderbut held against rotation thereby, said locking plate and said ratchetplate having nesting projections forming ratchet teeth, and a springbetween the bottle holder and the ratchet plate for holding them inengagement.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses as fol lows:
